Half-lives of two radioactive nuclei $A$ and $B$ are $10 \, minutes$ and $20 \, minutes$,respectively. If,initially,a sample has an equal number of nuclei,then after $60 \, minutes$,the ratio of the number of decayed nuclei of $A$ and $B$ will be:

At any instant,the ratio of the amount of two radioactive substances is $2 : 1$. If their half-lives are $12$ hours and $16$ hours respectively,what will be the ratio of the substances after two days?

In a radioactive decay process,the activity is defined as $A = -\frac{dN}{dt}$,where $N(t)$ is the number of radioactive nuclei at time $t$. Two radioactive sources,$S_1$ and $S_2$,have the same activity at time $t = 0$. At a later time,the activities of $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $A_1$ and $A_2$,respectively. When $S_1$ and $S_2$ have just completed their $3^{\text{rd}}$ and $7^{\text{th}}$ half-lives,respectively,the ratio $A_1/A_2$ is:

The number of nuclei of a radioactive substance is $1000$ and $900$ at times $t = 0$ and $t = 2 \ s$,respectively. Then,the number of nuclei at time $t = 4 \ s$ will be:
